So, @Hethwill
We have a clanmate of mine, in the video sailing an empty FIR/FIR LGV, with Gazelle bow figure, Bovenwinds refit and Cotton Sails upgrades, no cargo, no cannons.
He's found an angle on the wind where he's faster than the constitution.
and suddenly...his sails go to Half Sails.

Look at 01:50:55, the LGV's sails are going up, while trying to get away from the constitution.
Now, explain to me, how does this happen if the player is not touching his keyboard...

Greetings,
Once upon a time the developers proclaimed that you cannot hack/ cheat in this game, "because the client only renders the world and registers your input. All calculations are done on the server."
And yet, I've got reports from players that have 1000+ hours into this game and are experienced players of very strange things happening when in battle against certain individuals.
These occurrences include but are not limited to:
Crew assignment changing to repairs, or guns being disabled.
Sails being depowered or set to 0%.
The ship not responding to any player input via keyboard, total loss of control of the ship.
So, if the developers keep their stance that the game cannot be hacked, then the only conclusion can be that the hackers are the developers themselves.
This would make a certain amount of sense, since they have the tools and more direct access to the server than regular players.
So, @admin@Ink ,myself and my fellow captains would like an explanation for this.
With the recent changes to the game, it looks as if you're trying to kill this game as quickly as possible and these "impossible" hacks are contributing to this.
I've heard rumors that this game might be "finished" in your opinion and that another project might be in the pipeline.
If this is the case, grow some balls and at least admit it and don't hide behind these game-changing decisions that most of the players hate.
I'd hate to spend all my time in a game that is essentially, going nowhere, or rather backwards.
